Bonehead

So I pulled a bonehead of a move a few hours ago. I was rushing to get to Itchy’s game on time… you remember, they don’t call me Zotime for nothing, and I was running to get there so that I could see most of the game.

I ran to a closest door and it was looked. I ran across the schools lawn to get to the other doors and ran through the snow. I got some snow in my shoes and was trying to shake the snow out them while running. I stomped my right foot a few times as I ran. I couldn’t get the snow out so I stomped real hard. The last stomp made my right knee buckle and I knew it immediately that there was something wrong. I stopped and felt my knee. It felt ok, but there was some pain in it. I walked to the gym and looked for Norm. She was up a half dozen rows and I stepped on the first riser trying to climb up.

I stopped and the woman that I nearly fell on asked if everything was ok. I said...that I may have just blown out my knee. She said that it didn’t look right that I would nearly fall on her, to which I tried to smile and laugh. The pain was searing like a knife to the top of my knee. I tried to gather my wits and looked up at Norm. She looked down at me and asked if I was ok. As I turned around to sit down I said to her that I was hurt. She asked if I was going to go up to her, to which I said… I don’t think so.

She climbed down to join me and asked what was going on… I told her that I hurt my knee. It’s not the first time that I blew out my knee, so I’m used to the pain. I don’t remember it hurting just this much.

After the game, we walked (waddled) out of the school and I was telling Norm how I did it while showing her. Yes... I did it again and hurt it again. What a bonehead I am.

As I lay here typing this, I am on the second bag of ice and I hope I only tweaked the knee. I hope the swelling is minimized and the hyperextension didn’t tear the ACL. More on that tomorrow after a night sleep.
